Bordering On Snuff 12 Jan 2010
This is a short (74mins) sadomasochistic indie horror flick that is very difficult to endure and i'm accustomed to these types of flicks but I was still unprepared for what this one had to offer. The whole story is shown through a POV angle of one of the torture victims causing the camera to shake Blair Witch style. This throws the viewer right into the thick of it putting the realism and sadism factors literally through the roof, scoring a whopping 10/10 but the gore is minimal ranking lowly at 4/10. It's the high intensity of the never-ending screams that make it painful to withstand so you will need a strong stomach and a very high tolerance level to be able to sit through this one. Is it the sickest torture porn flick on the market? It's definitely a contender, if not the undisputed champ of pure evil! The kidnappers torment their victims with big smiles and blunt rusty blades before indulging themselves in a blood bath orgy of violence. This is a highly disturbing flick that was even banned in Korea due to the relentless and depraved images being projected. If you like torture porn, bordering on snuff in style, then you will lap this one up as it will leave you slightly unhinged and dazed when the credits roll. If you like cute cuddly toys then I strongly advise you to stay away from this one, it will warp your fragile little mind and obliterate all that is good in your world.

Me Rambling as Usual 12 Sep 2011
By Cactus
This film is unlikely to feature strongly in the South Korean tourist board's marketing materials. Four random people have apparently been kidnapped and taken to an old slaughterhouse, to be killed for a snuff movie. (As a vegan, the irony of that wasn't lost on me; I bet they all ate hundreds of animals during their lifetimes, possibly some killed in that very building.) Actually, you know what? I'm glad they got taken there; they deserved it. Now I realise that statement probably makes me a bit of a sociopath, but I don't care. It's not like I really got to know any of them anyway, not even most of their names. And yes, I appreciate that they were dealing with a few problems and stuff, not least a pig-mask wearing, chainsaw wielding nutter, but some names and a bit of an introduction would still have been nice; I was spending my own personal time waching them being murdered horribly after all, so it was the least they could have done; I might have actually cared a bit about what happened to them then. And maybe it was just me, but that guy who tried to run away, then tried to save his wife, then decided not to, and then ran away again, twice, did get on my nerves a bit. It's true, I was starting to warm to him when he was doing his best to get the bad guys to let her go, but honestly, as soon as he had part of his hand cut off with a chainsaw he totally gave up trying. (I'm glad he got his foot caught in that bear trap too.) I'm sure that's probably grounds for a divorce.

This film also gave me a bit of a headache. All those handheld (or head-mounted to be more accurate) camera shorts; it feels like I've just gone three rounds with Mike Tyson, on a roller coaster.

So what's good? Well, the director's phone call from his mother showed a bit of imagination; and there's a classic 4 second screen scream from one of the women victims too, at around the 18:25 mark.

Recommended for militant vegetarians and fans of pointless torture porn.

Best badass moment? I have to admit defeat here. There wasn't one. A bit like the plot really.

Warning Jin Won Kim the Butcher will give you a very powerful hard hit which I assure will make you feel extra depressed,sad,sick, traumatized and might even make you tear up while seeing the harrowing cruelty of the victims as they face demonic insane unimaginable tortures and sufferings. this is a truly deeply effecting movie where it will test your strengths and nerves in all the wrong ways and leaves you feeling shaken up and rather nervous. the movie is extra hard to view and the cast were excellent they made the movie experience seem incredibly realistic and shocking. watching this movie is the hard part and it actually left me feeling a bit faint and timid. it surly leaves you will the full movie experience of terror sadism for its own sake and the torture is outstanding. warning to avoid fainting a a drink ready and if you feel faint pause the movie take a break. don't buy this movie if your a really weak soul who cant handle the sight of blood gore torture sadism sexual violence and realistic insanity.
